We're in NC and waiting for ours to be delivered. Nationwide Modular in VA built ours, we did a factory tour as ours was on the line. It was great to walk through our house while it was being built. The land is being cleared next week, basement built and then delivery!
Is this a Fairmont modular? We are in northern Michigan and in the process of choosing a manufacturer. We want something that is almost exactly like yours. We have acreage and love the idea of two dormers to enjoy the property.
The $100k rule -- I must say my biggest issue has been figuring out the details. Example, I thought I was getting 2 sets of doors plus 2 "pan drawers". BUT, I learned after we settled on everything the island is 3 sets of double doors. Picking the cabinet colors was a bit of a challenge as well. The builder we went with struggles to keep up with vendor changes and such so options and colors they offer for "real" do not match their web site. Time line has been WAY longer than I expected as well. I was not expecting two months just for bank paperwork.
@@Northof44Degrees-rj5wt WE are hoping to be in the house by Christmas, but that may be a stretch. Time will tell. I tell my wife I'll be in the house, put up a tree and have a Mr. Buddy heater! We do also believe the delays are God's way of helping us. It looks like interest rates are slowly going down. We have been watching for 6 months and that has been the trend. If you believe the forecasts we may actually get a decent rate :D
I have been a fan of Modular Homes for awhile now but it seems to have exploded due to the COVID Pandemic and now the Existing Home resales and New Construction Costs and delays.
Great interview! Thoughtful questions and informative answers!

Very cool! Check out TLC Homestead as well, you and he are on about the same timeline.

Yes, call Freemont Homes, Freemont, MI, and ask for Steve Jackson. You won't be disappointed.

@@tlchomestead we were lucky, our finance company, Grrenstone, has been fabulous to work with. We did struggle a little with the title company.
